Second Hand 1972 Gibson ES-345TD "Norlin Era," in Iced Tea Sunburst finish, w/Original Stereo Cable, Stereo/Mono adapter 

w/OHSC

The Norlin-era Gibson ES-345 is a rugged, character-rich evolution of a semi-hollowbody classic. Built under Norlin Industries, this period traded traditional build methods for bulletproof structural innovations designed to survive the rigours of touring. Featuring a laminated three-piece maple neck, a protective headstock volute, and legendary "T-Top" humbuckers, it delivers exceptional tuning stability and a clear, articulate punch. Complemented by its iconic 6-way Varitone switch and factory stereo output, this instrument remains a highly versatile vintage workhorse that offers authentic golden-age aesthetics without the unobtainable price tag.
